Abstract

Procédé et appareil de détermination de la qualité de volaille et de détermination d'un état de condamnation d'un animal ou une carcasse destiné à être consommé par l'homme. L'appareil comprend une machine à ultrasons, comprenant une sonde positionnée sur l'animal de sorte qu'une image de la partie de l'animal à examiner est représentée. Un analyseur d'image détermine et identifie une configuration du contour tissulaire et osseux anatomiquement distinct de l'animal représenté par l'image. Un équipement de reconnaissance de configuration compare la configuration du contour tissulaire et osseux à une référence standard d'un animal sain ainsi qu'à au moins une configuration de déformation connue de tissus d'animaux nécessitant condamnation. Si la corrélation est plus grande avec les configurations de déformation connues qu'avec la configuration de référence standard, des moyens d'indication d'un état de condamnation de l'animal sont activés. La sonde est positionnée sur la carcasse parallèlement au bréchet de sorte que l'image des muscles du blanc de la carcasse soit détectée par la machine à ultrasons. Une indication de la taille des muscles du blanc est déterminée à partir de l'image détectée. Le calcul de la qualité de la carcasse se base sur le rapport entre l'indicateur et le poids de la carcasse.
